Erik ten Hag is set to sign a five-year contract with Manchester United this summer in a decision which will not be changed regardless of club ownership.
The Dutchman’s current deal at Old Trafford lasts through until the summer of 2025 but such has been the positive impact he has made upon the club since his appointment last summer, there is unanimity that he should be given a new long-term contract through to 2028.
It comes amid the bidding process to buy United, with multiple offers to buy the club including a group led by Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and another from Britain’s richest man, Sir Jim Ratcliffe. The Glazers have pushed back their deadline to complete a sale of the club with the ownership situation at Old Trafford still unclear.
